A friend is someone to behold,
To laugh with and chat with, when warm or cold,
Someone to comfort you when you're blue,
To talk about the old and new.
One has many acquaintances
in life,
But when there is sorrow or strife,
A friend is someone who will understand,
To lend an ear or helping hand.
It matters not where you are
from,
Whether you are near or far,
Around the world or across the street,
A friend is someone we like to meet.
So when life's little troubles
get you down,
Try to smile, do not frown,
Turn on the computer, or pick up the phone,
With friends, you are never alone.
